RE: Antwort: re: st: Graph png format - differences in scaling between vers. 10 and 11

Don´t forget the -ifpdf- package for Latex, which allows you to condition on
the kind of compiler used on the document. So I have Stata a) save in .gph
b) save as .eps c) !epstopdf  every single graph destined for inclusion in a
latex document. This approach gives me total freedom how I want to compile
the document later on...

great!
